Chemistry:Lanthanide oxyhalide

From HandWiki
Portion of lattice of lutetium oxychloride.

A lanthanide oxyhalide is an inorganic compound that contains a lanthanide (Ln), oxide, and halide (X). The simplest members have the formula LnOX. The three heavier member of this class, lanthanide oxychlorides, lanthanide oxybromides, and lanthanide oxyiodides, can be prepared by hydrolysis of the corresponding lanthanide trihalides :[1]

LnX3 + H2O → LnOX + 2 HX (X = Cl, Br, I)

The lanthanide oxyfluorides are the unique member of the series. They are prepared by the thermal reaction of the trifluorides and the oxides:[2]

Structures

Subunit of solid LaOCl, showing the atomic structure as determined by X-ray crystallography. The larger green spheres are chloride, the tetrahedrally-bonded smaller green spheres represent oxide. This image is that of PbFCl, which has the same motif.[5]

The lanthanide oxychlorides, oxybromides, and oxyiodides adopt layered structures featuring 8-or 9-coordinated Ln ions sandwiched between arrays of halide and oxides. Most of the lighter oxychlorides follow the PbFCl motif, but the three heaviest adopt structures like that of SmSI (samarium sulfide iodide).[6]

The oxyfluorides adopt the fluorite structure.[2]
